20 cents??? Wow you over-paid! My first comets were 13 cents, bought in 2007, and parents to most of the rest of the comets in my pond. I think mama must be flirting with the shubunkins, though, because I've been seeing some babies recently with a lot more interesting color patterns.HTH said:It is very nice to see a thread where goldfish are something other then 20 cent feeders. It is odd to spend the bucks dig a hole and setup a system then go for 20 cent fish.
Now don't chew my fins off. I have seen a lot of nice 20 cent fish.
I have never purchased feeder fish to put in a pond. I figured out it was a bad idea back when I was keeping aquariums. It was sad really. People would be cycling their tanks and have the feeders drop dead. It had to be the ammonia or nitrite's right?Shdwdrgn said:20 cents??? Wow you over-paid!

My very first pond was a 90 gallon preform. My son had an Oscar that one of his feeders got too big for the Oscar to eat so he brought it over and threw it in my little pond. As we expanded the pond through the years and gave away fish each Spring, I always made sure to keep that one. It died this year, It had to be at least 15 years old. I have 2 Koi and the rest are Comets and Shubunkins.Shdwdrgn said:20 cents??? Wow you over-paid!

Don't say that to a guy who is into fancy goldfish.CometKeith said:Here is a pic of a few of my goldfish I took today. I think there is more status to keeping Koi but goldfish can be just as enjoyable!
